Copper anti-seize would be better, but that's probably fine.

Default Big 2nd for an anti-sieze product. Mucho anti-corrosion additives and it woun't slump off...
"grease" would work on the bench under static conditions, but anti-sieze is much more appropriate for a few reasons. One other thing I like is the solid lubricant content of the anti-sieze.

Default I've used Swepco synthetic grease on countless german cars with no trouble...
...mostly on the back of the brake pad.
